Educators, we've heard you loud and clear. Our e-mail based 2.0 login system will not work for students with no e-mail addresses.
Let's use this space for a productive discussion on what YOU think will work for your students. Do you want to see invite keys, user names, or something entirely different? Post it here! All of our PBwiki staff members are viewing this site, and it's a great way to get your voice heard.
We're asking for YOUR thoughts. Think about the privacy and security requirements in your school districts, the amount of work you're willing to put into getting your students registered on the wiki, and the age/ability of your students.
Is it possible to partition my current (silver) educator's wiki so that student's can work on group projects, but can't see other group's work? I'd like to have all students work on the same project and want to break the class into groups. Each group would be responsible for building a knowledgebase for the topic. It would be great to be able to create separate home pages for each group so they can work within my wiki (which has resources, such as glossary, etc). Each group would be graded on their particular group work, but at the end of the class, I'd like to give the whole class a chance to bring their individual work together into one knowledgebase. The only solution I can come up with is to create a separate wiki for each group and not be able to bring them together (and copy and paste from my wiki).
I am an educator. Today was the first time I took my students to the class wiki. While this makes perfect sense I was surprised and disappointed that only one student could edit the class wiki at one time. I know it sounds crazy, but is it possible for two or more people to be working on a wiki page at one time?
My idea to share is that it might be a great idea to create a space for only educators and their unique perspectives, questions and answers.
I am a new participant and i wish to keep my students' emails addrresses private or hidden. Is there a way for my students to edit wiki pages so that I know who has worked, but so their email addrresses are hidden from view of everyone but me?
I am using the wiki as a forum where my students can meet to construct a group project. I would like to know though how I can see whether they logged on and how long they stayed. Is this possible?
